He also filmed the crowd that specific way because Drake did something very similar in God’s Plan and made it seem like he was really giving back to the community. So he filmed the same way to expose him and all his pretending. “God plan is to show ya the liar.” Genius Kendrick, genius.

@@MichaelRosasco Yes, I'm sure. I've worked in costuming in the past. This is a massive thing in regards to brand names and trademarks. Take a look at any movie antagonist and ask yourself if you see any logos or brands, vs the protagonists. You likely won't see any on the villain because they have to be pre-approved, and most brands don't want to be associated with negative connotations. Given all the allegations back and forth between Kendrick and Drake, regardless of if they are true, Kendrick/the production could have had legal trouble if the Blue Jays hadn't approved it.

(69 God, prey at night percentage) 3. Owls will feed on each other. (Ovo people have given KDot info) 4. Owls attack prey mostly at night when prey are at their weakest. (Ovo preying on young guys like Diddy and RKelly+ more) 5. The Northern Sotted Owl is endangered in British Columbia. (KDot is showing how Drake is fading away) 6. Owls caught in the daytime are easy to tame. (KDot brought things to light for us) The last shot of the owl reminds me of Taylor Swift's video "Look What You Made Me Do" when he stole the keys to her castle and locked her out. Is this a shout out to TSwift? Pac's ring! Predators need to caged/jailed/tamed. Kendrick Lamar in that last frame shot of that owl in a cage is an entire essay on how to bury your enemy within seconds.

[@MaishaOnTop]

​@@nikkoa.3639 I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Drake is AGING, you can see it all in his face, skin getting loose around the jaw. If he didn't have the cornrows, you'd think the man is 10 years older.

[@lh8956]

I’m 50, so I’ve seen every rap beef. This was the most beautiful rebuttal/checkmate of all time. To have Whitney dancing in the video, and to make sure everyone knows Dave Free directed it. Just the ultimate slap in the face rebuttal. You tried to cause rifts with my family and friends, and it didn’t work!! In your face.

[@AdorzAaliyahSince94]

@@lh8956 same here!! This takes me back to how Hip Hop & Rap felt in the '90's as a teen/young adult, right before the shift. I was also thinking of how seeing the level of unity in this video reminds me of the video"We're All In The Same Gang".

[@luckyspurs]

I think Scru Face Jean said something about how Not Like Us could become the anthem of Juneteenth, the same way Alright became an anthem of hope against police brutality and oppression. Like, by linking this to big summer days like Juneteenth and Independence Day, Kendrick's making it hard for Drake to do the big summer pop tracks subsequent years as well; because people are going to remember this.

The biggest Drake Stan argument was that Kendrick wasn't addressing the shots at him. This was the big reveal that the hero was bullet proof all along. And pulling the slide at the start to show he was still loaded. Drake threatened a nuclear power with a box cutter.

"Atomic Dog" (Parliament Funkadelic) reference with the dog breathing at the beginning of the video. Parliament Funkadelic is one of the 4 fathers of West Coast Music as whole. Kendrick is getting to the true foundation...to the roots! Good to see and hear. This is where I think Detroit (the origin of Parliament) and West Coast Music are intertwined.

Yeah I agree Especially when you see what Kendrick is wearing (suit, quite formal like a lawyer) and also the handshake he does with the unnamed person is kinda like the one Drake does in the Family Matters video If that was Drake showing he put money in the streets to unveil info maybe this is Kdot’s clap-back to be like this is him getting actual info on these containers are what I have on you😮 We still got lots to feast on this beef fo sho🍿🍿🍿🍿🙏🏾💗🙌🏾

Whitney and family dancing was the diabolical part for sure. Remember, Drake is getting therapy for abandonment issues and is unable to hold a relationship for long enough to ever start a family. Kendrick's family dancing on him must really hurt.

@Nabychodonozord Drake is unable to keep a long relationship cause once they turn 18 he’s gotta let them go they too old for him then.
